Banega is currently on international duty at the World Cup with Argentina, but Emery knows what he is capable of and has spoken in the past about how he 'loves him' when Banega moved from Sevilla to Inter Milan back in 2016.

Speaking at the time, Emery said: "I have a great relationship with him. It's one of love and hate.

"I love him, because he's a boy who loves football, who endears himself to you and who gives you all of his heart and his ability - and he has a lot."

The midfielder has been linked with the Premier League in the past, with moves to Everton and Manchester United having been touted in the past, but it looks like he may now get that chance with Arsenal keen.

However, Millar states that the focus at the moment for Simonian is on his other client, Javier Pastore, who is reportedly on the brink of a move to AS Roma, and that the focus will only shift to Banega's potential transfer once that deal is complete.
